Monkey nearly choked on his granola and yoghurt on Friday morning, when Today presenter Justin Webb announced just before the 8am pips that his co-host Sarah Montague was Awol. "Coming up on the next hour we will try to find Sarah," he told listeners. "She has popped out to interview someone and hasn't come back." Her mystery disappearance prompted an immediate "Sarah Watch" outburst on Twitter, but within 10 minutes she was back on air, telling listeners "The time is now ten minutes past eight" before introducing an item on the problems Iraq and Afghan war veterans have settling back into civilian life. Montague was no more forthcoming about her mystery mission on Twitter, replying when Simon Conway cheekily asked whether she had been "Having a kip in a cupboard somewhere?" with: "If only! Nipped out to record an interview." Finally, the "Sarah Watch" mystery was later solved, when a BBC spokesman told Monkey: "Sarah's disappearance this morning wasn't because she'd fallen asleep in a bowl of cornflakes, she had to leave the studio briefly to record our 8.10 item [on Iraq/Afghan war veterans]."
